Can't update

[anterka]

Hey,

I can't update my phone, If i go to system updates it says my device is up to date, no update is necessary at this time. Well my firmware version is 2.2, so it should, I have never updated, it have never notified me.
I live in Hungary, my carrier is Vodafone Hungary, and as far as I know my phone is from England. Is there a way to update manually? I need to have 2.3 at least.

Thanks,

what is your system version, 1.2.148?
are you rooted?

themib, Vodafone is a GSM carrier. His firmware version is 2.4.29 or 2.4.330, as it's a DROID2 GLOBAL.

anterka, you probably have the updater app frozen or removed. You can, though, flash the factory image (known as SBF) for 4.5.608 with RSDLite.

I have just realised I don't have the global version, it's a Motorola Milestone 2, the 1 Ghz version. My system version is Version.62.4.18.A953.AsiaRetail.en.03, and my kernel version is 2.6.32.9. By the way my phone is unlocked.

thats why i asked

My system version is Version.62.4.18.A953.AsiaRetail.en.03, and my kernel version is 2.6.32.9.

I'm guessing there is no official you may be able update, with a sbf for different carrier, if you flash with linux or mac with sbf_flash, you may not lose you radio settings

By the way my phone is unlocked.

not sure what you mean, as a milestone it should come sim unlocked, unlike the D2G
band unlocked?
don't think it could be bootloader unlocked

edit: try a Milestone 2 forum
I would start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=957
and several SBFs here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_milestone2/list.php

Thanks for your replies.

Could this method work on my Milestone 2?

You should make sure to use only files made specifically for the Milestone 2 in terms of firmware.

the radios of droid & milstone are different
you maybe able to use ezsbf 608 and not alter radio don't know

you should try to stick with a milestone sbf and backup/restore apn settings with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.APNBackupRestore&hl=en

So, I should be ok using this method: Motorola Droid 2: Full Update Guide - CyanogenMod Wiki
with the Retail British firmware from here: Droid-Developers SBF ?
